Oh no! Be very careful, I’ve heard stories of small dogs being snatched up by large birds even while on-leash. And in cities and suburbs. We have a flock of turkey vultures living directly across the inlet from our house. One day I had let the dogs out in the yard and I was on the porch and all of a sudden I saw a huge shadow, had to be 14 feet across. My mind was thinking oh an airplane and then I realized there was no noise and I thought WTF and I ran out into the yard to protect the dogs but that was very scary and I know the 14 foot shadow was a bit bigger than what the actual bird was but it was still too close for comfort. When I start sewing again I’ll be designing a line of bird repellant Yorkie vests. |
